We’ve had better years haven’t we?
Good:
Iraq improved dramatically.
They figured out I had a bum pituitary. Now I get shots.
Bad:
Pretty much everything else.

‘Tween the optimist and the pessimist
The difference is quite droll;
The optimist sees the doughnut
And the pessimist sees the hole.
You’re still breathing; your children grew markedly in size and wisdom; your business is still solvent (I hope); none of your family’s parents died; no flood nor fire consumed your house; no war was declared on or by your country. Your country has survived two centuries of stress and looks like it can handle itself (although not necessarily with your preferred measures). Your government is remarkably stable, thanks to its 200 year old genius Constitution which none of the radicals was able to amend again this year. Tell your children that, on the scale of historical situations, yours and theirs are among the best that ever existed.

Oh sure… dig deep (-:
I referred more to global trends. My life is fine, excellent even!
In terms of the country… I don’t share your optimism.

Optimist sells the holes too!
Pessimist waits for Congress to fiddle some more with Medicare Part D “Doughnut Hole”..
